Criminological theory, and particularly social disorganization theory, has held that immigration is inextricably linked to crime. Stowell tests whether patterns of neighborhood-level violence are partially attributable to the population characteristics of an area, and, in particular, to its nativity composition. His analyses offer both support for and challenges to social disorganization theory. Consistent with theoretical expectations, immigration is found to be indirectly associated with levels of violence. Little support, however, is found for the notion that immigrants are a largely homogeneous population, or that immigration is positively associated with property crime. The results call for a refinement of the disorganization theory, one that is sensitive to the differences among the foreign-born population and one that does not assume a negative impact of immigration on neighborhood social structure and violence."--BOOK JACKET. 410 0$aNew Americans (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC) 606 $aViolent crimes$xSociological aspects$xResearch$zUnited States 606 $aImmigrants$xSocial conditions$xResearch$zUnited States 606 $aEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects$xResearch 606 $aNoncitizen criminals$xResearch$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xResearch 615 0$aViolent crimes$xSociological aspects$xResearch 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions$xResearch 615 0$aEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects$xResearch. 615 0$aNoncitizen criminals$xResearch 676 $a364.3086/9120973 700 $aStowell$b Jacob I.$f1973-$01820071 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956212203321 996 $aImmigration and crime$94381305 997 $aUNINA
